Dems Air Ad Critical of Bush on CIA Leak

[Spazito]

WASHINGTON - Democrats begin running a television ad Monday criticizing the Bush administration for leaking the identity of an undercover CIA (news - web sites) officer whose husband criticized the president's Iraq (news - web sites) policy.



"It keeps getting worse ... scandals in the Bush White House," the ad says. "Now they illegally leaked the identity of an American CIA agent ... all to hide Bush administration deceptions about the war in Iraq."


The Democratic National Committee (news - web sites) chose the Scranton-Wilkes Barre market in Pennsylvania to debut the 30-second spot. The initial ad buy is about $20,000 and it will run about a week.

1. Hee heeee

I want to see freeper / Ann Coulter etc. reaction to this. I really do. To keep proportionality with past behavior they'd have to demand public impaling of everybody involved with the ad. :evilgrin:

6. And how would they pull an ad?

Only way I imagine is if they are pals with some TV network execs and have a friendly chat over golf. Or am I missing something?

4. I wish someone would emphasize the national security implications of

"the leak." She was working on WMD proliferation.
So now we are LESS safe. And how many of her foreign contacts are now being tortured, in prison or dead?

But hoorah for at least keeping the story alive. BTW, rate the story at Yahoo.

7. Well, this is a start. But only $20,000?

Maybe the DNC is hoping for some free air time through news coverage of this ad.

8. I got a begging letter from the DNC for this

Will most likely go up in a wider market sometime in the future.
